Kent investigators tracked down and arrested a man who was wanted in the stabbing attack of a Kent man last Wednesday.

Authorities on Tuesday evening found 32-year-old Michael A. Santos in the 21200 block of 84th Avenue South, where he was taken into custody without incident.

Santos was wanted for assault in the first degree and robbery in the first degree. Investigators said Santos has other charges that are pending.

“We are pleased to have such a violent offender off our streets,” said Kent Police Det. Melanie Robinson.

Investigators said Santos attacked a 64-year-old East Hill resident, who arrived at MultiCare Auburn Medical Center’s emergency room with multiple stab wounds.

The victim, who sustained life-threatening injuries, remains at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.

His name has not yet been released.
